What does text clean do?
There are three main options, at the moment — watch our blog for future updates. Use the three checkboxes separately or together to clean your text is various ways:

  • The Clean Text checkbox will convert many characters to text safe equivalents and strip all High ASCii characters that can cause formatting issues when copied from program to program.
  • The Clean Paragraph checkbox removes extra spaces and lines.
  • And finally, the Remove HTML checkbox will strip out most HTML tags and leave the content. It also converts HTML entities to text equivalents.

Are you willing to add or change the functionality of the text cleaning process to suit my needs or use case?
